SLAMRAAM

Abstract

Surface Launched Advanced Medium Range Air-To-Air Missile (SLAMRAAM) is an air defense system that consists of launcher platforms employing the proven AIM-120-C7 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM); Integrated Fire Control Station (IFCS) command, control, and communications platforms; and Improved Sentinel Radars. SLAMRAAM is a day or night, adverse weather, non-line-of-sight system that counters cruise missiles (CM), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), fixed wing and rotary wing threats. SLAMRAAM is mobile and armored which allows it to operate in various combat situations to protect maneuver forces and strategic assets. The Army's Air and Missiles Defense (AMD) portfolio assessment of the cost-effectiveness of SLAMRAAM capabilities versus competing priorities for capability investments within the AMD portfolio led to an Army recommendation to conduct an orderly conclusion of the SLAMRAAM program. The program will complete prototypes and vehicle integration, developmental testing, limited user testing and demonstrations but will not go into production. The prototypes will allow for provision of an Emergency Operational Capability if required. At the direction of the Under Secretary of the Army, Program Executive Officer (PEO), Missiles and Space, in coordination with the Army stakeholders, will conduct an analysis within existing funds to assist the development of an executable modernization/mitigation strategy that considers legacy systems.
